The present invention relates to new N-aryl-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, several processes and new intermediate products for their preparation and their use as herbicides and plant growth regulators.

It is known that certain N-aryl-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds have herbicidal properties (compare, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,992,189; EP-A 305,333; JP-A 63-39859 and citation in Chem. Abstracts 109, 37735p). However, the herbicidal action of the already known compounds, like their tolerance in respect of important crop plants, is not completely satisfactory in all fields of use.

The new N-aryl-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds of the general formula (I) ##STR2## in which R¹ represents hydrogen or halogen,

R² represents cyano, nitro, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, alkyl, halogenoalkyl, alkoxy, halogenoalkoxy, alkylthio or halogenoalkylthio,

R³ represents halogen, hydroxyl or mercapto, or represents a radical, in each case optionally substituted, from the series comprising alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkinyloxy, cycloalkoxy, alkylthio, alkenylthio, alkinylthio and cycloalkylthio,

R⁴ represents hydrogen, halogen or alkyl,

R⁵ represents hydrogen, halogen or alkyl, or together with R⁴ represents alkanediyl,

R⁶ represents hydrogen or alkyl and

R⁷ represents hydrogen or alkyl, or together with R⁴ represents alkanediyl,

with the proviso that R² only represents chlorine if either

(a) R¹ represents hydrogen or at least one of the radicals R⁴, R⁵, R⁶ and R⁷ represents alkyl and at the same time

R³ represents halogen or mercapto or represents a radical, in each case optionally substituted, from the series comprising alkylthio, alkenylthio, alkinylthio and cycloalkylthio, or

(b) R³ represents halogen or (in the meaning of "optionally substituted alkoxy") represents alkoxyalkoxyalkoxy,

have now been found.

The compounds of the formula (I) can occur in various stereoisomeric forms where appropriate. The invention relates both to the individual possible stereoisomers and to possible mixtures thereof.

It has furthermore been found that the new N-aryl-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds of the general formula (I) are obtained by a process in which

(a) ketocarboxylic acids of the general formula (II) ##STR3## in which R⁴, R⁵, R⁶ and R⁷ have the abovementioned meanings, are reacted with arylamines of the general formula (III) ##STR4## in which R¹, R² and R³ have the abovementioned meanings, if appropriate in the presence of an acidic catalyst and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, or by a process in which

(b) N-aryl-imides of the general formula (IV) ##STR5## in which R¹, R², R³, R⁴ and R⁵ have the abovementioned meanings, are reacted in a first stage with organometallic compounds of the general formula (V) ##STR6## in which R⁶ and R⁷ have the abovementioned meanings and

M represents lithium or the grouping MgX, wherein

X represents chlorine, bromine or iodine, if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, and the hydroxy compounds obtained after treatment with an aqueous acid, of the general formula (VI) ##STR7## in which R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶ and R⁷ have the abovementioned meanings, are dehydrated in a second stage by customary methods, or by a process in which

are reacted with alkylating agents of the formula (VII)

in which

R⁸ represents in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl or cycloalkyl and

X represents a nucleophilic leaving group, if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, or by a process in which

The active compounds according to the invention can be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and, especially, as weedkillers. By weeds, in the broadest sense, there are to be understood all plants which grow in locations where they are undesired. Whether the compounds according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in connection with the following plants:

Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver and Centaurea.

Dicotyledon cultures of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita.

Monocotyledon weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus and Apera.

Monocotyledon cultures of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.

The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total control of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.

The compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention are suitable for selectively combating monocotyledon and dicotyledon weeds in monocotyledon and dicotyledon crops both by the pre-emergence and by the postemergence method.

The active compounds according to the invention engage in the metabolism of the plants and can therefore be employed as growth regulators.

Experience to date of the mode of action of plant growth regulators has shown that an active compound can also exert several different actions on plants. The actions of the compounds depend essentially on the point in time at which they are used, relative to the stage of development of the plant, and on the amounts of active compound applied to the plants or their environment and on the way in which the compounds are applied. In every case, growth regulators are intended to influence the crop plants in the particular manner desired.

The amount of leaves on plants can be controlled, under the influence of growth regulators, so that defoliation of the plants at a desired point in time is achieved. Such defoliation is of great importance in the mechanical harvesting of cotton, but is also of interest for facilitating harvesting in other crops, such as, for example, in viniculture. Defoliation of the plants can also be carried out to lower the transpiration of plants before they are transplanted.

The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension/emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound and very fine capsules in polymeric substances.

These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is, emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, and/or foam-foaming agents.

In the case of the use of water as an extender. organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, as well as water.

As solid carriers there are suitable: for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-disperse silica, alumina and silicates; as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for example ligninsulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Further additives may be mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

USE EXAMPLES Example A Post-emergence test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Test plants which have a height of 5-15 cm are sprayed with the preparation of the active compound in such a way as to apply the particular amounts of active compound desired per unit area. The concentration of the spray liquor is so chosen that the particular amounts of active compound desired are applied in 1,000 1 of water/ha. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

100%=total destruction

In this test, for example, the compounds according to Preparation Examples 5, 6, 7 and 8 exhibit a very potent action against weeds, such as, for example, Amaranthus, Galium, Protulaca and Veronica, coupled with a good tolerance in respect of useful plants, such as, for example, wheat and rape.

Example B Pre-emergence test

Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of sovent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil, and 24 hours, watered with the preparation of the active compound. It is expedient to keep constant the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation is of no importance, only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denote:

0%=no action (like untreated control)

100%=total destruction

In this test, for example, the compounds according to Preparation Examples 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 22 exhibit a very potent action against weeds, such as, for example, Cynodon, Setaria, Abutiton, Amaranthus, Chenopodium and Galium, coupled with a good tolerance in respect of culture plants, such as, for example, wheat, corn and soy beans.

Example C Defoliation and desiccation of the leaves of cotton

Solvent: 30 parts by weight of dimethylformamide

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier and the mixture is made up to the desired concentration with water.

Cotton plants are grown in a greenhouse until the 5th true leaf has unfolded completely. In this stage, the plants are sprayed with the preparations of active compound until dripping wet. After 1 week, the shedding of leaves and the desiccation of the leaves are rated, in comparison with the control plants.

In this test, for example, the active compounds according to Preparation Examples (7), (9), (11) and (22) exhibit very pronounced desiccation of the leaves and very pronounced shedding of leaves.

It will be understood that the specification and examples are illustrative but not limitative of the present invention and that other embodiments within the spirit and scope of the invention will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.
